Today it's Valentine's Day, and we all know that it's a day that's usually reserved for romantic love. I'm not the most romantic person in the world, but I did manage to send a message to my husband this morning. Let's also remember that Saint Valentine was also the patron saint of epilepsy. Legend has it that he espoused love and equality for all people. On this day, I'd like to send some love to all the people in my electorate of Cowan, a caring, compassionate and warm-hearted community. Happy Valentine's Day to Dee Claydon; Travis Fitch; Margaret Cockman; Phillip Paddon; my neighbours Colin and Vera; Ruth Thatcher; Renee Evans and her gorgeous family; Hoosein Ismail and his family; Jack Le Cras, a legend at Wanneroo; Dean Bell; Reverend Chris George and Melissa George; Mal Wright; Colin Stuart Campbell—hang in there, mate—Darren Reilly; Nick Trandos; Ian Brotherton, Mayor Tracey Roberts; Marcia Dinni; Steve Nikovski; Ashdale Special Families; Jasmine Wallace; Michael Fragomeni and the team at Top EV Racing; Peter and Patty from Oshawa; Jan Standen and all the great grandparents who are looking after their grandkids; the staff and students at Alta-1 College; Linda Hames; Naomi Lambert; Callum Ince and his wonderful family; all the schools, students, staff, educators and parents of Cowan; and so many more people, too numerous to mention. I'm sending you love and wishing you peace today.
